Players by the Sea proudly presents Black Odyssey by Marcus Gardley, directed by Professor Ashleigh Henry. This powerful reimagining of Homer’s Odyssey fuses Black history, mythology, music, and poetry into an epic journey of self-discovery, identity, and homecoming.

Set against the vibrant pulse of Harlem, Black Odyssey follows Ulysses Lincoln, a Gulf War veteran, as he navigates a mythical path through time, history, and the African American experience.
